Sorry, I misread your second post. You should try to get a hardware firewall.
btw, what utility did you use to look for open ports, or have you tried something like this:
Shields Up: https://grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2

netbios port 139 is usually listening.
the netbios service resolves microsoft/windows network names.
to close that port you could use a software firewall (bad), or much better a hardware firewall.
some software-/desktopfirewalls: zone alarm, norton firewall (former at-guard)...
to see which program/service is listening or using a port you can use netstat in a 'dos box'

thanks fo replay
i already use zone alarm
i heard there are softwares gives me a complet path of any hacked program netstat doesn't give me the full path
i heared that we can stop the netbios in windows2000 but how could we do that in millenuuim.

LucF you are right i am sorrry i had misread it. in 9x it can't be easily disable the netbios as being NT, first you remove the file and print sharing and than get a firewall (like zonealarm) and i also recommend the Kerio Personal firewall strongly. Sorry again for the misunderstanding.

For the past 6 months I've been using an excellent privacy protector called Alpha Shield. It's plug 'n play and requires no configurating or updating. It sits between the modem and pc and blocks out all unrequested packets, keeping you in stealth mode while on the net. It cost $140 CDN but it's a small price to pay for peace of mind. (won't work with dial-up though) Along with NAV and Adaware I've had no probs.

Many of us in IT utilize a combination of roaming profiles and folder redirection to ensure user information carries over from one workstation to another; in my environment, it was to enable virtualization without needing a separate desktop for each…
